I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 990

Chapter 990: Chapter 991 Giant_1 Chapter 990: Chapter 991 Giant_1 “`
The architecture of the Earth Elemental Temple was simple and unassuming, made entirely out of grey stone. Between the massive blocks of rock, there was only a slender gap, so thin that not even a sheet of paper could slip through.

Dozens of huge stone columns stood in parallel, each towering over ten stories high. Standing before the temple, Song Jian felt as though it was a palace built for the giants of legend.

A beastly roar emanated from within the temple, causing Tuya to become cautious.

“My lord, it seems something has already claimed this place…” Tuya said, his face grim.

If it were an unclaimed temple, then at most it would be guarded by a group of earth and stone elements. However, if the temple was occupied, it likely housed a large contingent of guardian soldiers.

“Let's go in and meet them.” Having said that, Song Jian took the lead and walked towards the temple.

Entering the temple, Song Jian found himself in a spacious hall. A giant, more than ten meters tall, was sitting on a stone throne at the far end of the hall.

This giant had a bronze-colored body that radiated a metallic luster. When Song Jian saw it, it appeared to be sleeping, but upon sensing Song Jian's presence, the giant slowly opened its eyes.

“Human, leave. This is not a place for you!”

“This is the territory of the Giant Clan. If you don't leave, it will be seen as a provocation to the Giant Clan!”

The voice of the giant was like the grinding of two massive boulders, slightly grating and causing Song Jian's brow to furrow.

“A seventh-tier soldier, an exotic giant–how can there be a presence of the Giant Clan here?” Tuya's face paled, and he couldn't help but take two steps back as he whispered.

“Seventh-tier soldier?” Song Jian raised an eyebrow. There was no mention of the Giant Clan in the City Lord Mansion's records, and the massive creature in front of him was already a level fifty Commanding Boss. Even in the game world, it was an extraordinary existence.

“My lord, we should retreat for now. This place is occupied by the Giant Clan; we won't stand a chance against them,” Tuya said in a low voice.

The presence of the giant silenced all the soldiers behind Tuya. Even though it simply sat on its throne, unmoving, the oppressive aura it emitted made these lower-tier soldiers lose all courage to even wave their weapons at it. If Tuya insisted on engaging in battle, the team's morale would plummet instantly, and all soldiers would rout, because this wouldn't be a battle–it would be suicide.

“I'll go.” Song Jian raised his right hand and summoned the Sky-breaking Sword, slowly walking towards the giant.

“Presumptuous!” The giant slowly stood up, looking down at this tiny human with a hint of confusion in its eyes. Even the Dragon Clan wouldn't dare show it such disrespect. How could a human, not even as tall as its fingers, have the courage to draw a sword against it?

The giant slowly raised its right leg, its bronze-colored thigh resembling a thick bronze column, pressing down towards Song Jian.

Thousand Swords Art!

In an instant, the Sword Qi Value surged from the dantian at an incredible speed towards the Sky-breaking Sword. A unnatural flush appeared on Song Jian's face, and he swung the Sky-breaking Sword fiercely at the bronze-colored giant.

More than two hundred Spirit Swords incessantly hacked at the giant's body, sparking a myriad of brilliant sparks, followed by deafening explosions that burst on the surface of the giant's body, causing its movements to falter as it could not help but stumble and retreat to the left.

The giant, over ten meters tall and weighing more than three thousand tons, could cause an earthquake-like tremor with a mere step.

“Humans, to make me take a step back, you can be proud!” The giant revealed a look of surprise in his eyes. In his lifetime of over a thousand years, he had never encountered such a powerful human.

Song Jian's expression changed slightly as he stared at the giant. The giant's defense power was too formidable. The damage, which each Spirit Sword should have caused, amounting to over two thousand points, was suppressed to just over a thousand on the giant, and its resistance was extremely strong; even the additional thousand or more points of fire damage from each Spirit Sword were directly reduced to just over three hundred points.

“Even among the Sovereign level bosses I have encountered, I have never seen one with such formidable defense and resistance,” Song Jian thought to himself, tapping the ground with his foot as his figure quickly retreated.

“Escaping now, don't you think it's a bit late?” The giant let out a thunderous roar, as if thunder were exploding beside one's ears.

Just as the giant felt a surge of killing intent and was about to chase after Song Jian, countless Spirit Swords forming the Red Lotus Sword Array suddenly bloomed beside it.

A dazzling flame of Karmic Fire Red Lotus burned intensely, continuously revolving around the giant with a series of ear-piercing friction sounds, like metal being sliced, echoing within the Sword Formation, accompanied by the giant's furious roars of anger.

“The Red Lotus Sword Array won't kill it…” Song Jian squinted at the struggling giant within the Red Lotus Sword Array, calculating the damage of the Sword Formation and the giant's remaining health, and he couldn't help but feel surprised.

This was a terrifying being he had never seen before, one that could withstand the second stage of the Thousand Swords Art head-on without showing signs of weakening. At this point, most of the giant's bronze skin had already turned dark red, like a piece of iron ingot that had been smelted.

“Is this really just a level seven troop type? Then, how formidable would the stronger level eight, nine, or even level ten troop types be?” Song Jian, who had been somewhat dismissive of the Assessment World up to this point, suddenly changed his previous view.

“The waters of this world are too deep; no wonder it serves as a world for second-tier combat power assessments!” Song Jian thought to himself, looking forward to the third-stage transformation of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation.

Soon, the Red Lotus Sword Array slowly closed in, enveloping the more than ten-meter-tall giant, but it was evident that the giant was frantically flailing its fists inside, trying to burst through the Sword Formation. The surface of the Red Lotus showed large fist imprints, and fine cracks began to appear on the petals of the Red Lotus. If this stalemate continued much longer, the giant might indeed break free.

At that moment, a sharp sword over ten meters long appeared out of nowhere above the Red Lotus Sword Array. Terrifying wisps of Sword Qi, like mist, radiated from the blade of the sword. Song Jian, standing tens of meters away, felt a slight sting on the exposed skin of his arms, and his fine hairs seemed to stand on end with static electricity.

It was as if an invisible giant hand held the long sword, slightly lifted it, and then the sword fell at lightning speed towards the center of the closing Red Lotus, leaving a fan-shaped trace of Sword Qi in the void. Tuya suddenly felt a sting in his eyes and hastily shut them, but tears still involuntarily flowed down.

“This time, the power of the Red Lotus Sword seems unprecedentedly strong,” Song Jian also narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the descending Red Lotus Sword.

Crack~
A faint slicing sound rang out, and at the same time, the entire hall of the Earth Elemental God Temple echoed with the giant's agonizing howls.
